this $50 pound dynamite she'll at the unfor-
tunate selyage. and 10 Is lucky it did not
strike him square or that city gent would
have been heard OF no more at Pcarsalls.
Here is the letter:
PEARsALLs Jany 81 1887 Mr. and mrs
Selvage T. Mott trustee Of the Publick
School am Very Sorry that my time has
been taken up so much in Keeping your
towels Of my Strawbcrys that + have not
took as much intrusL in the School as
might have Done if you stop Crossing my
land and keep you Chckings heme you
viii Oblldge me Very much ana If you
want Jdneter you had better apply to the
trustees and see what you Can do you and
some others seem to be very much alarmed
a bout tn School how much would YOU like
to have Charge of the School in full
r MoTr.
In view of the above It is gratifying TO
know that If in the civil conyu'sions which
now shake this land, education should
perish from the rest Of the United States,
Brother Mott will rescue a spark of the
| Pronethean fire from the destruction and
ruin which surrounds him, and in a happier
time when peace shall have been restored,
rekindle the fires of education in the classic
regions of Pearsalls.
Father McGlynn's letter ef explanation
in Henry Georges paper has not served to
quiet matters in the least. Archbishop
CorrigNn took fight for Tie ''vexcd Ber-
moothes" ostensibly to bless a new church,
but really to get out of the row which has
given his eminence more trouble than any
thing that ever occurred to him before. Tn
7 to the present time the archbishop has
sailed in smooth waters and with fayorng
gales, and his whole life may be said to be
one continued success. lie was what the
world calls q lucky man. lie was hardly
ordained when he was given one of the
richest parishes in the diocese. He was
| made bishop over the heads of dozens Of
eminent clergymen who had devoted the
best years of their lives to the advance
ment Of the Catholic Church and made it
what it Is to-day, the most powerful church
organization in the Union On the death
OF Cardinal McCloskey he was made an
archbishop, and no doubt looks forward
hopefully to n cardinals hat. The con
tumacy Of Father McGlynn is the first real
trial of his life, and to be openly accused
by that clergyman of not having told the
truth, was more than his patience could
bear He knew as long as he remained in
New York that he could not avoid the
controversy, so he sailed last week for
Bermuda in hopes that while he was away
Father McGlynn would either conclude to
obey the orders of the Fatican or else be
publicly eXcommunicated by the Propa-
Sanla, and thus have the question finally
settled.
The labor troubles have affected us in
every department of trade. The strikers
had no money to carry home on Saturday
night. ana many homes were destitute Of
fire and food. One of the most pitiable
eases was in the Catholic Orphan ASYLUM
of Brooklyn. There are GOO little children
cared for by the good Sisters of Charity.
Their coal gave ont on Saturday and the
strikers refused to aid them in getting
supply to warm them and cook their food
over Sunday. This harbarty and worthy
OF the sercrest condemnation. Several of
the rich coal dealers, when their men de-
serted them, stripped of their coats, loaded
mp their coal carts, and drove them from
place to place delivering coal TO fill orders
The price Of coal has doubled in three
weeks. Retail dealers are now asking
eight and ten dollars ton. Strange as it
may seem the theatres are filled night after
night and | rejoice to record that.
Quite number of religious revivals are
doing good work in our midst, though the
crop of sinners is abundant and not parti-
cular good quality. BROADBRIM.
